Of this form an own group personality is created, and by that same reason, the individual conduct is going away to see modified and the member individuals of a group will see enriched their personality with the own characteristics of the group culture. REASONS OF THE GROUP: We already know what is a group, but why we entered to be member of a group? To live in solitude is difficult, to live in pair or in group also is it; nevertheless, the group covers a series with individual needs, and that is one of the main reasons for which we grouped ourselves, but exist others not less important: 1. To satisfy needs: – of insertion, integration and valuation in the group. – of total participation, to feel valued, of self-esteem, autorrealizacin – of friendship – of communication – of security – physical (health, rest, sex, shelter, etc.). (Similarly see: Cancer Research). to 2.Satisfacer the interpersonal attraction (physical, psychological, spiritual). to 3.Lograr objectives or goals in the life that the group makes possible. to 4.Vivir a relational climate that seems to exist or is possible to obtain. to 5.Encontrar a series of activities in which one can be found pleasure.
to 6.Hacer ours the objectives of a concrete group with which we identified ourselves. to 7.Contar with the force, social prestige of the group. to 8.Conseguir goals and to make activities that a single person cannot obtain or do. to 9.Seguir to a leader who offers guarantees to obtain what he looks for. to 10.Disponer of a series of materials and resources that can be used. We see then as the group forms to respond to numerous and different needs from the members. But problems can arise since it is possible to be satisfied to a part of the group and to be left unsatisfied another one. Nevertheless, this one is another subject we will touch and it more ahead. We now see the basic characteristicses of the groups.
